Many people travel as couples, and it typically means that for seating one is in an aisle or window, and the other is in a center seat. The A330's and A340's are much more desirable in that respect with their 2-4-2 seating.
I was riding on a domestic triple seven last Thursday from BKK to HKT and TG's arrangements are 2-3-2, except of the first row, which was 2-2-2 in C. Compare that with the 2-4-2 on UA, unacceptable. Too bad, we loose the TG option.
